Tears

App is not viable. One buys your bird app based on your physical book. Very disappointed that this app is still so poor after all this time.

Cannot log in

Had this app for a while now and the problems using it just keep on coming. Have been able to log in for ages then it won’t let you. Reset. No luck.

Navigation of the species is also terrible. Clunky and difficult.

Logged out

So maddening to be logged out and then cannot log life list as it won’t allow me to log in. Even when updating the password. I know all my credentials are correct!

It’s given up the ghost

I don’t know what is happening, but the app no longer works.

I purchased it years ago and yesterday I could not login so I changed my password, now it really doesn’t log me in, plus each time I choose a class of birds I get a value of ZERO (0) returns, no matter which classification I use (i.e. waders, or birds of prey etc.).

It was working fine at least 2 weeks ago!

I’ve tried to offload the app and then reinstalling it but it is still the same.

I tried to download assets, nothing happens either.

I don’t want to lose my lists plus I paid for this app, so I expect it to work.

This is very inconvenient. I don’t know what you’ve done to the app but this glitch needs to be fixed ASAP.
